Here’s how you can revert to the previous version of Fallout 4:

  1. Create a new folder and put all your Fallout 4 files in it.
  2. Open the run dialog (WINKEY + R) and type steam://nav/console and press enter.
  3. In the Steam console that opens, copy and paste the following download_depot commands line by line:
  • download_depot 377160 377161 7497069378349273908
  • download_depot 377160 377162 5847529232406005096
  • download_depot 377160 377163 5819088023757897745
  • download_depot 377160 377164 2178106366609958945

Then do the following:

  1. Once the downloads are complete, visit the specified folder paths in the console.
  2. Open the folder specified in the “Download complete” message, find the Fallout 4 files inside and paste them into the folder you created in step 1.
  3. Once you download all the repositories above, you will have a fully restored version of Fallout 4.

Once these steps are completed, you can download a suitable mod to prevent Steam from automatically updating the game. This method is an indispensable solution for players who want to stay on the old version. However, MUST make a backup of your files beforehand.
